Our reading notes

Implementing SLOs

A hands-on chapter for selecting service-level indicators, defining objectives, and using an error-budget policy to guide reliability work.

What to look for

  1. 01

    Start with behavior that matters to users rather than a convenient infrastructure metric.

  2. 02

    Treat the objective and error-budget policy as an agreement to refine with experience.

Keep in mind

The example targets and windows illustrate the method. They are not the right values for every product.
